The Chlamydia trachomatis Type III Secretion Chaperone Slc1 Engages Multiple Early Effectors, Including TepP, a Tyrosine-phosphorylated Protein Required for the Recruitment of CrkI-II to Nascent Inclusions and Innate Immune Signaling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of trachoma and sexually transmitted infections, employs a type III secretion (T3S) system to deliver effector proteins into host epithelial cells to establish a replicative vacuole.

An improved method for surface immobilisation of RNA: application to small Non-Coding RNA - mRNA pairing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Characterisation of RNA and its intermolecular interactions is increasing in importance as the inventory of known RNA functions continues to expand. RNA-RNA interactions are central to post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms in bacteria, and the ...

Proteins That Chaperone RNA Regulation [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2018
ABSTRACT RNA-binding proteins chaperone the biological functions of noncoding RNA by reducing RNA misfolding, improving matchmaking between regulatory RNA and targets, and exerting quality control over RNP biogenesis. Recent studies of Escherichia coli CspA, HIV NCp, and E. coli Hfq

An RNA Thermometer Activity of the West Nile Virus Genomic 3′-Terminal Stem-Loop Element Modulates Viral Replication Efficiency during Host Switching

open access: yesViruses, 2020
The 3′-terminal stem-loop (3′SL) of the RNA genome of the flavivirus West Nile (WNV) harbors, in its stem, one of the sequence elements that are required for genome cyclization.

Dynamic interactions between the RNA chaperone Hfq, small regulatory RNAs and mRNAs in live bacterial cells

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
RNA binding proteins play myriad roles in controlling and regulating RNAs and RNA-mediated functions, often through simultaneous binding to other cellular factors. In bacteria, the RNA chaperone Hfq modulates post-transcriptional gene regulation. Absence

Protein solubility and folding enhancement by interaction with RNA. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
While basic mechanisms of several major molecular chaperones are well understood, this machinery has been known to be involved in folding of only limited number of proteins inside the cells. Here, we report a chaperone type of protein folding facilitated

Structural basis for recognition of transcriptional terminator structures by ProQ/FinO domain RNA chaperones

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
In this work, the authors determine the crystal structure of a ProQ/FinO RNA chaperone bound to its RNA target. This provides insight into how this family of bacterial proteins recognize transcriptional terminator structures.

Study of E. coli Hfq's RNA annealing acceleration and duplex destabilization activities using substrates with different GC-contents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Folding of RNA molecules into their functional three-dimensional structures is often supported by RNA chaperones, some of which can catalyse the two elementary reactions helix disruption and helix formation.

The yeast histone chaperone hif1p functions with RNA in nucleosome assembly. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Hif1p is an H3/H4-specific histone chaperone that associates with the nuclear form of the Hat1p/Hat2p complex (NuB4 complex) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While not capable of depositing histones onto DNA on its own, Hif1p can act in conjunction

Proteins with RNA Chaperone Activity: A World of Diverse Proteins with a Common Task—Impediment of RNA Misfolding

open access: yesBiochemistry Research International, 2011
Proteins with RNA chaperone activity are ubiquitous proteins that play important roles in cellular mechanisms. They prevent RNA from misfolding by loosening misfolded structures without ATP consumption.
